Key Features
- Left and Right Paired Set — This product includes both left and right guide wheels, meaning you have a complete matched pair that will maintain balanced tracking and steering response across your Buzzsaw Xtreme vehicle without needing to purchase additional components.
- Genuine FTX Manufacture — These are authentic OEM spares manufactured by FTX, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and quality standards used in the original assembly of your Buzzsaw, rather than aftermarket alternatives that may not fit or perform identically.
- Direct Compatibility — Specifically designed and tested to fit the FTX Buzzsaw Xtreme 1/12 ATV, eliminating guesswork about fitment and ensuring proper alignment and performance when installed.
- Critical Wear Component Replacement — Guide wheels wear down with use, affecting steering precision and straight-line tracking; having quality replacements available means you can maintain your vehicle's performance throughout the season without waiting for repairs.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance — Replacing worn guide wheels is significantly more economical than allowing damage to propagate to other steering components, making this preventative maintenance spare an intelligent investment in your RC equipment.
Technical Performance
The FTX Buzzsaw Left & Right Guide Wheel Set represents precision engineering designed to work in harmony with the rest of your 1/12 scale Xtreme ATV's drivetrain and suspension geometry. These guide wheels are critical components in the Buzzsaw's sophisticated steering and tracking system, helping to ensure that the vehicle maintains straight-line stability whilst also allowing responsive directional changes during turning. The wheels are manufactured to exacting tolerances that match the original specifications, meaning they will interface perfectly with the guide wheel inner shaft assemblies (FTX0622) and other steering components in your vehicle. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn guide wheels is part of responsible RC vehicle maintenance, helping to preserve the integrity of your entire steering assembly and preventing accelerated wear on other components. By maintaining a set of spare guide wheels, you ensure minimal downtime between maintenance intervals and can keep your Buzzsaw performing at its peak throughout intensive racing or bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Buzzsaw models is this guide wheel set compatible with? — This FTX0617 guide wheel set is specifically designed for the FTX Buzzsaw Xtreme 1/12 ATV (model FTX0602BL). If you own a different variant of the Buzzsaw or another FTX model entirely, you should verify compatibility before ordering, as different scale vehicles use different sized components.
- How often should I replace the guide wheels on my RC Buzzsaw? — Guide wheels wear gradually depending on how frequently and intensively you use your RC vehicle. If you notice your Buzzsaw pulling to one side, tracking poorly during straight acceleration, or if you observe visible flattening or damage to the wheels during routine maintenance inspections, it's time to replace them with fresh components like this FTX0617 set.
- Do these guide wheels require any special tools to install? — Installation of guide wheels typically requires basic RC hobby tools such as small screwdrivers and potentially small allen keys, depending on how your Buzzsaw's steering geometry is assembled. Detailed assembly instructions are available in your vehicle's user manual or from FTX's support resources online.
- Are these guide wheels the same as the loading wheels and regulating wheels on my Buzzsaw? — No, the Buzzsaw uses different wheel types for different functions within its complex steering and drive system. The guide wheels (FTX0617) serve a different purpose than the middle loading wheels (FTX0619), rear loading wheels (FTX0620), or regulating wheels (FTX0618), so make sure you're ordering the correct component for the wear or damage you've identified on your vehicle.
- Can I buy individual left or right wheels, or must I buy the complete set? — This product is sold as a complete left and right set (FTX0617). However, FTX manufactures various wheel components as separate spares across their Buzzsaw range, so if you only need one specific wheel, check FTX's complete spare parts catalogue to see if individual components are available as separate line items.
